Fashion and Beauty Photographer Paul De Luna

Growing up in the surf of Southern California, Paul De Luna obtained his degree in Creative Writing and set off to travel the world in search of stories. Soon, he found himself employed in the fashion industry and spent the next decade in front of the lens developing his unique perspective and keenly honest voice on fashion and image. Capturing romance with a Botticelli-inspired decadence, he has quickly become one of most valued names in his field working for clients such as Victoria’s Secret, Quiksilver, Corona, Roxy, Elle, Surfing Magazine, and more. The eloquent beauty of his images combined with their engaging emotional nature captivates his ever-expanding international audience to continuously return for more. Apart from his creative work Paul is an avid surfer and skateboarder. He is based in New York.

Most of my creative decisions by now are visceral and intuitive, and images just suddenly appear in my head – often at the oddest of moments. I was recently telling someone that I constantly have about 10 movies and 5 soundtracks of my own design constantly playing in my head; it’s really quite a cacophony in there. While creating the universe of Angels We Were, I felt that things shouldn’t be too clear – they are in a place lost in time and space where there is no reference point beyond the hazy memory of a dream.
